Just got a new drill for my taco, it’s gonna be my first time changing something on it and this video made it so clear on how to install, thank you!! Love the Tacoma
Hey. I put the TRD Pro Grille on my Tacoma and put the Sensor Garnish in front of the Sensor but the Radar for the Cruise Control and Auto Braking is not working.
How does the garnish work? I have a 2016 tacoma that came with all the trd accessories and I also have a 2019 and I wanna swap all the stuff from my 16 to my 19. My 16 has a oem grille but not the garnish for the tss and I ordered an ebay one because the oem is way over priced. But I don't want issue with the tss
The garnish may do it, but it’s just there to protect the sensor. You may have to play with the adjustment shims. Mine is working fine now, but I had to add washers behind the mounting bolts as well. I also trimmed some plastic mounding that was partially blocking the hole in the grille.
I just installed mine and I keep getting an error message for the sensor (it says I need to clean the sensor but it is not dirty). Is anyone else having this issue? And, if so, how was it fixed? Thank you
It's been about a month now, and Due to the TSS, I cant use Cruise Control. I really dont miss the "Auto Slam The brakes" It does, but I really want my cruise back.
@@mk8530 you may need to slant the top of your sensor toward the engine by adding 2 or 3 small washers between the sensor and where it attaches to the grill on the one stud at the top. Trial and error for the number of washers, mine took 3 washers and it works fine!
Your radar was factory calibrated for the original OEM grill. You just eliminated the radar safety feature. Looks cool! Look up “Cosine Error” in google and you’ll see the mathematical proof.
I don't think cosine error is the issue with these sensors, the reason I say this is because these radar sensors are only used in a forward direction directly in front of the vehicle, the sensor does not know the size or height of a vehicle in front of you, you might be behind a sports car with a total roof height of only 40 inches (think Mazda Miata top down) to 54 inches from the ground, another vehicle may be 72 inches total height above the ground the only thing the radar sensor is doing is sending out its signal and it bounces back to the sensor. Everything is in a straight line of site. As long as the sensor has been mounted flat and not angled right or left or up or down the short distance these sensors work at I just don't see cosine error being an issue. Another reason I don't buy the cosine error issue is because these trucks depending on the model you have are different heights, moving the radar sensor higher or lower depending on the suspension options on the truck. The same style grille can be two or three inches different for the height of the radar sensor depending on the suspension options. I think what is an issue is the material the garnish cover is made of, the density of the type of plastic that is used. Toyota should be ashamed of themselves charging as much as $450 dollars for a small plastic cover that costs them likely no more than a $3 to $5 dollars to manufacture. The reason I think it is the covers that are the issue is because people get the message the cover is dirty when it is not, that may be an issue with the density of the material used to make the cover.
Thanks ! Just got a knock off finally on my 18 OR . Hated this grader grill for 4 yrs now . Finally putting on what you have . Thanks for the help
Nice video, clear commentary and nice editing. Going to get a grill after seeing this. I was hesitant because of the sensor
Thanks for the video. I have a black, 2019 TRD Sport also and getting ready to install the new grill that arrived yesterday!

where can i buy that sensor cover? thanks!
The link to buy the grill doesn't load
Nice video! What color are those letters? Mine came in black. They look silver, maybe metallic.
Sonny cristobal
I have a when i bought that grill it doesnt come with the glass cover for the sensor where do i buy that
When i bought that item it doesnt come with that glass cover for the sensor where do i buy yhat
Buy that on Ebay or Amazon... cost less than $20
Thanks man! Just the vid I was looking for! Nice Taco!!! And I agree, the stock Sport grill is hideous!!!
Question those little proms you said you had to rip out the sensor did you break them?
Why does everyone skip that sensor... mine will not come unplugged for anything.
can i buy just the letters?
the link does not work anymore ???????????????
i have this grill but didn’t come with letters can anybody help me find some letters ?

If I understand your question...The 2016 did not have a sensor or garnish so I doubt that you can swap that grill onto a 2019!
is the tss garnish supposed to be see through?
No
Dumb question but does this fit on a 2021 SR5?
Yes.... fits all 3rd gen Tacomas
I think they did the T that way to dodge potential, “counterfeit” and copyright infringement/importation laws.
Did you buy the garnish separately?
Garnish piece is always separate unless you but OEM
Just installed mine. Radar won’t work.
I have the same sensor error? I haven’t installed the garnish yet , will that fix it? I did add the two washer up top but still have the error

Make sure the sensor is flushed straight and you have the right tss cover for the sensor. Not a plastic cover which will block the sensor.
Did you put a replica or OEM grill? Did you use the OEM garnish as well?
